木の葉雨 Konohaame ・木の葉が雨のように舞い散るということを木の葉雨といいます。今の時期、町を歩くと風に舞う木の葉が見られると思います。暑い日には日陰を作ってくれたり、緑を楽しませてくれ、また紅葉も華やかでした。役目を終えた木の葉は、風に運ばれ、大地にに帰って行くのです。素晴らしい自然に感謝の気持ちを忘れないでいたいものです。
‘Kinohaame’ refers to leaves that flutter in the wind before falling to the ground. Walking around town at this time of year, one can see such leaves dancing in the wind. On hot days, these leaves provided shade, we enjoyed their lush green and then in the autumn their brilliant colours. Having fulfilled their role, the leaves are carried by the wind back to the earth. How nice it would be to remember how appreciative of nature we are when we meet with scenes such as ‘kinohaame’.
